What to do in Cozumel?

[blainesterrr]

Okay so I've been to Cozumel twice so far, and will be there again in September. I made a reservation with Alamo to rent a car and plan to tour the island in the car. So in wondering what are some must sees?

 

Also if anyone has experience with Alamo, how was it? I booked a $7 a day car with $18 insurance plan. Came up to $31. Does that sound legit?

 

Any good free snorkeling spots? I may want to rent or may buy my own snorkel gear before I cruise..

You can snorkel for "free" at The Money bar -- no admission fee, but it is polite to buy drinks/snacks. Good snorkeling from the shore (you enter the water via steps) plus good facilities and rental gear/guides if you need them.

 

When I cruise I bring my own prescription mask/snorkel and rent everything else to save room in my baggage.

That sounds like a STEAL I looked up Alamo car rental for my upcoming cruise to Cozumel and the cheapest they had was $103.24. Are you sure your numbers are right ? Did you rent a scooter?

That price is definitely wrong for a car.

Not sure how clear that picture is. But I just went to alamos website and put in my dates and it came up with $5 for manual compact and $7 for automatic.

That's actually cheaper than a round trip taxi ride.. Even after you purchase the insurance.

We are looking at renting a car from Alamo and with all the insurance it comes up to over $100. This was for a compact car, no AC and standard transmission. Where are you picking it up?

wow, that is a great deal for a rental! I taxi since I drink quite a bit on vacay ;)
